A questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge claims that are seen
as mere beliefs. Thus, even others are questionable.
Honestly, it depends on the strength of the evidence and how long it has
been accepted through common sense. Scientific evidence is usually
pretty strong as it can be observed, while religious dogma is usually
not as strong, as the knowledge is usually just theoretical.
Personally, I wouldn’t do the First Philosophical Skeptic: Those who
deny all possibility of knowledge. Because it directly clashes with the
more accepted Stoic
principle of Katalepsis (Roughly comprehension in modern language). And
honestly, while the First Philosophical Skeptic can be true, some things
are so highly possible or near-certain, like gravity, that they pretty
much can be considered universal truths…
Questioning everything leads to curiosity! (If your brain can handle it!) However, societally it
makes you troubled! So you can use Google, Wikipedia, or AI to give you knowledge! Treasure what
you have learned from your doubts
The truth can get distorted, especially in political events, because
in passing down history, things are bent and rephrased so much that they
become unreliable or misinterpreted. So, don’t thrust things that are
way too old. Usually, it’s what people want you to believe, not exactly
what actually happened.
Famously, religious texts like the Bible contain things pretty much
unimaginable, and I think it’s false. There's no way to be sure, because
no human from the past remains by definition to verify anything! Due to
skepticism,
not as evil, but as a
pragmatic view that the past is unreliable, fragmented data, this
occurs.
Perhaps it's really that we can never know anything for sure, metaphysically, historically, ethically, or politically, or it is all based on opinions...
In fact it might be due to LINGUISTIC nihilism: Words are meaningless - paradox, but it cannot be meaningless because I am expressing an idea. Rather, it's a subjective interpretation of that may depend on culture: for instance, for complaints, some may think it's burnout; others may just take it as a fact from a honest man. of thought]]
